Allergen Details

Allergen name: Pin y 2
Allergen source: Major taxonomic group: Plantae Pinopsida
Order: Pinales
Species: Pinus yunnanensis (Yunnan pine)
NCBI Taxomony ID: 88732
Biochemical name:Vicilin-like seed storage protein, 7S globulin
Molecular mass:50 kDa
Allergenicity:20 sera from patients allergic to pine nuts (symptoms + SPT) were tested for IgE binding to Pinus yunnanensis seed extract by Western blot. Seven sera (35%) had IgE binding to a 50 kDa protein identified by mass spectrometry as vicilin. Five WB-positive sera were tested by ELISA with purified nPin y 2 and rPin y 2.0101 (expressed in E. coli). All five sera showed IgE binding to both allergens.
Allergenicity reference:PubMed:41603857
Route of allergen exposure:Food
